LW,
Are you sure? because I heard that people who have Philippines license they even don't need to convert their license and they can work their directly with their filipino license. which actually doesn't make sense, but told by several chaps.

Hi There,
I've got an Indonesian friend who is a capt. in Garuda, according to him, expats that get hired by the airline works on their license with "Validation" from Indonesian Aviation Authority, not only the Filipino license, but any foreign license. Having said that, they do not need to do license conversion.
Hope it Helps.

If you wish to work for garuda, best thing is to come in person to the HQ in Jakarta- believe me!
Dunno yet if the Indonesian Govt. has approved Garuda's application to employ up to 100 foreign pilots. Any indonesian nationals in this forum that may know the answers??

I would like to work at Garuda Indonesia as well. I sent a email to HR asking which department I can email a resume to. We'll see. I read that they need 250 pilots!

Silver Spur,
Wow, that's a LONG WAY to go to "pop-in" in person and submit a resume. Must you really?
Thanks for the info!

As an Indo national... here's the answer... No one knows for sure on the status of foreign pilots in Indonesia for mainline carriers flying for not-new types for the airline... There are some who made it, there are some who just get told "no we don't want foreign pilot... One reason why this (how to get foreign pilots flying here) is kept quiet because of various interests surrounding the issue...
1. Airline A wants to keep it's foreign pilot intake deal with the govt a secret... So that Airline B won't know and can suffer from the shortage.
2. Local pilots have fought hard to raise their own salaries here... some for good reason and don't mind the foreign pilots coming in, some just too greedy and sees foreign pilots as a threat to their salary increases...
As a matter of fact, 1 airline (Let's call it airline A) has such a "chronic shortage" at one stage, they were offering 75k USD for rated pilots in airline B to jump carriers... (mind U, the <5k take home pay didn't help because if you leave before the contract ends, U'd have to pay 150k USD)...
At that stage, it would be cheaper for me to hire foreign captains and run a cadetship for 3 years and let the current F/Os become captains within those years and by then the cadets would be line flying...
(that airline A is now having to deal with airline B now offering 50k to jump carriers, and >6k USD, on a 3 year contract prior to becoming permanent... such is the game here! :rolleyes:)
hellboy : It was the best time of my life, I would go back there if only they can accept me on the left seat but I think that would be too much too ask
they do now .. still interested?
ngga lah yaoow!

Hello all, Slamat siang,
I am applying for GA at cabin crew position this time. I'm glad to read some threads here.
I have flew to Australia with GA and the crew were very friendly. It would be a great opportunity to work with them if I could get in.
Does anyone know how tall they should be?
Thank you in advance.
